Lord Of Rings Third Age Screenshots

Experience the first console roleplaying game (RPG) set
in The Lord of the Rings universe in The Lord of the Rings, The Third
Age from EA GAMES™. Travel in the wake of the Fellowship in a unique
structure that allows players to explore their own path while periodically
intersecting the major events of New Line Cinema's film trilogy. Traverse
through both familiar and seldom-glimpsed locations as you fight to
save or destroy Middle-earth™ in an epic adventure. Encounter the demonic
Balrog in the Mines of Moria, defend the fallen city of Osgiliath,
or try to destroy Helm's Deep. These choices and many more will confront
you as you align yourself with the people of Middle-earth or undertake
missions on behalf of Sauron.

Play as all-new characters from Middle-earth, interacting with the
heroes, villains, and supporting cast who populate the world. Your
heroes or villains are completely upgradeable, allowing you to enhance
their weapons, fighting style, and attributes. Then you will embark
on a free-roaming adventure where you can complete the primary objectives
or seek out the various side quests and uncover hidden characters,
secret weapons, and powerful items.

Dispatch the forces of light or shadow with an innovative turn-based
battle system. Ride horses or Wargs and charge through your foes. Use
your leadership skills to maximize your party and unleash devastating
attacks as you fight alongside or against key characters from the films
such as Aragorn, Gandalf, and the Balrog.

Explore a beautiful and realistic world that features assets from
all of the films, voice acting from the original actors, and motion
capture from the films' stunt doubles.
